// OpDetReadoutGeometry
//
// Ben Jones, MIT, 07/16/10
//
// OpDet's are defined with a particular geometry, and only some part of the OpDet
// is sensitive.  When several are placed, only the mother volume, vol_OpDet is
// replicated.  Each constituent volume, including the sensitive volume, only
// exists once in the volume store, as a daughter of the mother volume.
//
// Hence to know which OpDet a photon steps into when it is inside a sensitive
// volume, we must define a readout geometry to identify which volumes are
// contained within each OpDet.
//
// This class is heavily based on LArG4ReadoutGeometry by Bill Seligman,
// which is very well commented.  See that file for further reference.
